    today in solo queue i learned that if top gets ganked because they don't have any ward coverage, the jungler is at fault

If you're being chased flash will NOT get his slow ass to safety unless you go over a wall, but satchel can do that anyway. Also, being able to run up and drop mines in front of a runner sounds amusing.

    I have thought about this as well, but hadn't tried it out yet

    I am also wondering whether exhaust over ignite may be better as well

    Ghost/Exhaust over Flash/Ignite

    Get them stuck in one place while you put some distance and tag em with your ult....

    Everything is the Junglers Fault.

    Someone feeds? Junglers Fault.
    No wards? Junglers Fault.
    Lanes all pushed up? Junglers Fault.
    Jungler Ganks Bot? Should have Ganked mid/top at the same time noob.
    Jungler dies during gank because lane sits at tower? Jungler = noob.
    Jungler gets Dragon? Should've got Baron noob.
    Team wins? Jungler AFK

    Is a champion not entitled to the CS of his lane?

    No! says the bottom lane, it belongs to the carry!
    No! says the middle lane, it belongs to the mage!
    No! says the top lane, it belongs to the tank!

    I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... the Jungle.
    A lane in which the sustained would not fear the tower dive, where the poor early games could not be exploited, where the underplayed would not be constrained by the metagame! And if you can get to level 4 in four minutes or less, the Jungle can become your lane as well.

    I was convinced last night practicing (1v1 on SR - didnt even know you could do that) with a friend, much better than myself, that running teleport/exhaust is pretty much the best for just about every non-jungler. You get back to lane quicker/instantly, and can punish someone over extended pretty badly, or if you've goofed, you can use exhaust as an escape.

    I also got a beatdown lesson about positioning, last hitting, over extending, and watching the other champs spell usage. I needed this desperately. I'm starting to see the game in a different light.

    the best part is that he was winning the lane

    he went galio top vs akali and was poopin' on her. he was up like 40 cs, killed her twice

    then he got ganked by skarner and gave up a kill cause he had no wards anywhere

    how do last hit?

    I believe last hitting is when you save your ult until the opponent your team is beating on is almost dead to ensure you get the kill.

    I am not denigrating the use of teleport/exhaust, I'm just not comfortable enough with Ziggs to abandon a last-ditch "oh-shit" escape

    I like to run teleport/exhaust on Kog'maw, who has like ZERO escape ability, but I have been playing Kog for a while

    "I gank when they over-extend on you, not the other way around, chief." Is a common utterance of mine as Shyv jungle.

  • interrobanginterrobang kawaii as  hellRegistered User regular
    not to mention that flash has a myriad of offensive play-making uses too that people don't talk about when the conversation about it starts

    it's seriously not worth giving up on like 98% of champs

    So do ghost and teleport though, especially if you have someone who is clutch at ward placement

    At least people embrace your jungler as a standard hero. Everytime I pick Volibear all I get is,

    "QQ OMG VOLIBEAR TERRIBLE YOU COST US THIS GAME AT CHAMP SELECT"

    You think it's bad when you're on Shyvana and something negative happens, try picking an "unconventional" jungler.

    You would think of course, after going say 7-0, and ganking every lane that they might be willing to concede the point and acknowledge that other heroes besides Udyr, Shyvana, Nocturne, and Lee Sin are viable. But no, you "got lucky" or "team would have won anyway", "won despite you, etc etc.

    At this point, I just ignore it and play the game. If we lose, we lose, but I try my damned hardest at every opportunity to win.

    So, I think I've fallen in love with jungle Tryndamere all over again.

    Playing him is an adrenaline rush -- you have to really pay attention to your debuffs, your health, if your heal is on cooldown or not, and think about who you're auto attacking, how your pathing route looks, when to spin and where and for what reason, when to hit your slow, and (probably most importantly) when to use your cleanse.

    I feel like he's one of this really high-skill ceiling characters -- except instead of the skill being reliant on your ability to hit skillshots, it's reliant on tactical decisions about where you're positioned, picking and prioritizing vulnerable targets (and thinking about what abilities they have available might change the prioritization), and carefully timing your various abilities. And when you do well, you can get triple kills, and when you do poorly you can get demolished without having done much damage at all.

    SO MUCH FUN

    Yes. I love when people say he's so easy to play.

    Show me.

    Any good jungle Tryndameres out there?

    Critique my build!

    Masteries: 21/9/0, emphasis on cruising through the jungle easy at early levels, to have high health for ganks

    Runes: They add up to 10 Armor Penetration, 10% attack speed, 10% crit

    Item build: Start with cloth + 5 pots. Next go for Boots 2 with Attack Speed, Avarice Blade, and Vamp Scepter. Then, B.F. Sword and Zeal. Then, Infinity Edge and Phantom Dancer.

    Jungle path: Start with a pull on red, kill red and get level 2. Immediately try to gank mid lane with red! Then go get level 4 in the jungle, and try to gank a side lane! From there, try to keep the jungle more or less cleared while ganking lanes and such.

    New Poppy skin... now I want to play Poppy again (used to play her on 3s when I had 2 other friends that played) So I guess solo top is where you'd send her...? I know jungling is an option but I do not like jungling so forget that. Any good tips for solo top Poppy? Do I try and be aggressive with some E > Q RUN AWAY! tactics? Or do I just farm? Wriggles 1st item? Thoughts?

    Her auto-attacks are shitty, so you'll want AD runes and you'll probably want to pick up a wriggles or doran's blades early for sustain+easier CS. Warding top bushes so you can E them into a wall would be choice. If the enemy is all AD, putting a few ranks into W early wouldn't be bad.

    She's one of the hardest carries in the game, but her early game is bleak. If the enemy is letting you get away with harassless farm, take it.

    Did a botgame to try the new ones out.

    Karthus, Garen, Jax, Graves, Morgana. With bot-build rules? Ow.

    Karthusbot went 21/20/6

    He knew when you were low.

    He knew when you were low EVEN IF NO OTHER BOTS WERE AROUND

    Long story short - he ganked three of us while we were low killing Dragon. Without vision. That was when we learned that Karthusbot is OP.

    IT WAS AWESOME.
